You know you want to! :D

Send us a query! Fandom, story, theme matter because we need diversity. But if your thing fits--its only 3000-4000 words!

This is not going to be nonfandom folks writing about fandom; this is going to be literary acafans scholars talking about fanwriters as literary artists. <3

Hi - sorry to be belated! Brief is like 2 paragraphs, yes, though if you're not sure just query us: we want diversity of fandom and approach, so the fandom and the topic and the story matter. We expect most essays will be written by academics but we are certainly not against fans submitting!

Oh I missed this - no, we don't have a policy. Encouraged but not mandated if the story is in the public eye/open internet.

Yay!! Yes, this does sound your sort of thing!! :D

If you've got an idea, shoot us a query anyway! We'll probably be making decisions around the end of the month!

I want this to be a model - I'm hoping that if I can people thinking this way we can maybe open an AO3 collection of essays later! :D

Thanks! Propose something! :D. We are trying to get a diverse array of fandoms. I want to talk about fanfiction as literature and fanfiction writers as artists with their own preoccupations that are NOT in the show, movie, book, or what have you!!

Man I wish I’d known!! Would have loved to have seen you both!! Let’s go see something all three of us soon!!
